Granted
The Board granted service connection for cervical spine degenerative arthritis, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and finding that the condition is attributable to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise, and the claimant is entitled to the benefit of the doubt when there is an 'approximate' balance of positive and negative evidence regarding any material determination.
